News of a hippopotamus, shot dead after escaping the ruined zoo of a dead drug lord, is what sends Antonio Yammara back into his own fear. He had been a young law professor in Bogotá, playing billiards with a quiet ex-convict named Ricardo Laverde, when a motorcycle pulled alongside them in the street and gunfire took Laverde's life and nearly his own.
The first hippopotamus, a male the colour of black pearls weighing a ton and a half, was shot dead in the middle of 2009.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
